Other theses on this trade
The $NILF thesis is pretty simple, but I think the narrative goes way deeper than just “Not In Labor Force” NILF is a state everyone in crypto is ultimately trying to reach. Most people enter crypto because they want financial freedom. They want to accumulate enough capital so they no longer have to trade their time for a salary. The whole point is to escape the workforce. You wake up every morning, commute to work, sit through a 9 hour shift, come home exhausted, do it again the next day, and repeat that cycle for decades. The NILF state is the complete opposite of that. You own your time. You can wake up on a random Tuesday and go surf. Go snowboard for a month. Travel with your family. Take another surf trip a few months later. Do whatever the fuck you want because your time isn't being dictated by an employer. That’s literally the freedom most people in crypto are chasing. NILF isn't just unemployment. NILF is freedom. Everyone in crypto wants to be $NILF
